Global soil salinization is accelerating. As the dominant fast-growing plantation genus, Populus spp. largely determines the success of coastal and inland saline-land restoration and the associated carbon-sequestration benefits. Yet most current stud...

The Loess Plateau (China) is an ecologically fragile region where understanding the impact of forest naturalness on soil carbon content is critical for ecological restoration and enhancing carbon sequestration. This study investigates this relationsh...

Afforestation plays a vital role in reshaping land systems and enhancing carbon sequestration, particularly in ecologically fragile regions. However, the carbon implications and spatial dynamics of large-scale planted-forest (PF) expansion in the Yel...

In Portugal, increasing wildfire frequency and severe storm events have intensified the need for advanced monitoring tools to assess forest damage and recovery efficiently. This study explores the application of deep learning neural network technique...

This study investigates the influence of urban greenery on microclimate conditions in Novi Sad, a city characterized by a temperate oceanic climate, by integrating high-resolution remote sensing data with in situ measurements from 12 urban climate st...

This study examines hiking within the context of active lifestyle trends, with a particular focus on the implications of physical limitations for its implementation in forest environments. The primary objective is to analyze how hiking offerings can...

This study aimed to systematically characterize the pyrolysis characteristics and combustibility of six typical tree species across different altitude gradients in southwestern Yunnan, providing references for fuel management and selection of potenti...

Accurate estimation of carbon sequestration at the single-tree scale is essential for understanding forest carbon dynamics and supporting precision forestry under global carbon-neutral goals. Traditional allometric models often neglect environmental...

To improve the accuracy of tree age estimation by accounting for variations in radial growth, this study developed a diameter/age model that incorporates the radial growth rate for seven typical tree species across subtropical to cold temperate regio...

Climate change is driving the need for forest management strategies that simultaneously enhance ecosystem resilience and contribute to climate change mitigation. Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs), regulated in the European Union by the Carbon Removal C...
